ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. —

An Easley woman accused in the past of not properly caring for animals has been charged with 60 counts of ill treatment of animals and 54 counts of failure to provide proof of rabies vaccinations.

The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office arrested Debra Lynne Sheridan of Easley on Wednesday.

Sheridan's bond was set at $186,755. That breaks down to over $2,000 for each count of ill treatment, and over $1,000 for not having the proper rabies certification.

The charges were made after sheriff’s animal control officers visited Sheridan’s home to conduct an animal welfare check. Unannounced checks are part of a court order stemming from Sheridan’slast court appearance.

Sheridan runs the Golden S Rescue on Hamlin Road in Easley.

Inspecting officers found the facility was out of compliance with several requirements. Some of the animals were in need of veterinarian attention; some were without water and/or appeared underweight.

Investigators said that although six of the animals were too young to receive a rabies vaccination, Sheridan was unable to provide the necessary proof of rabies vaccinations for the other 54 that were in her care.

During the case investigation, Sheridan was found to be in possession of a controlled substance and has also been charged with that offense.

Officers seized a total of 60 animals, including dogs and cats. The animals were taken to the Anderson County Animal Shelter where they will be kept, pending legal action against Sheridan.

If convicted on the ill treatment charges, Sheridan could be facing a considerable monetary fine and/or jail time. The offense against each animal will be considered separately and, although the charges are considered misdemeanors, each charge could result in a fine of up to $500 and/or 60 days in jail.

In February 2014, Sheridan was arrested twice on similar charges. The first time she was arrested, 11 dogs that were critically ill were seized. Two weeks later, more than 100 animals were seized from Sheridan’s Golden S Rescue property on Hamlin Road in Easley and she was charged again.

In September 2014, Sheridan was convicted of maltreatment of animals and of not having the the animals properly vaccinated.

Sheridan was fined $1,092.50 for each conviction. The judge gave her six months to pay because she didn’t have the money.

According to the Secretary of State office, Sheridan's organization, Golden S Rescue, was suspended and had not registered with the secretary of state, so Sheridan should not have been accepting donations.

News 4 learned that the last financial document turned into the IRS by Sheridan was for the year 2011, which showed the organization took in $97,311 in contributions.
